When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and California Gov. Gavin Newsom debate this evening on Fox News, it might not have a direct impact on the 2024 presidential race, but that doesn’t mean it won’t have consequences for their futures and for the network.
DeSantis is no longer the definitive Trump alternative that he was when Fox News host Sean Hannity first broached the idea last summer, and Newsom is not even a candidate, despite facing perpetual questions about his presidential aspirations.
